"Alex?" Tobin called out, searching for where Alex went.
She checked the bathroom. Couldn't find her.
"Alex, this isn't funny" Tobin said, and little did she know Alex was creeping behind her, trying to get out the door, without Tobin catching her in Tobin's UNC Tar Heels sweatshirt.
Tobin shrugged, then turned to look around, nearly jumping out of her skin when she found Alex.
"Alex?" Tobin asked.
Alex just grinned, hoping Tobin wasn't observant.
"Where are you goi-" Tobin started, studying her, then her eyes went wide. "HEY!" Tobin yelled.
Alex laughed and tried to get around Tobin to get to the door.
"Not so fast!" Tobin laughed, pinning her arms against the wall.
They were inches away.
"Thats my sweatshirt" Tobin said, staring Alex down. "My favorite sweatshirt"
"I like it" Alex said, and Tobin had to admit it did look good on her.
"So do I" Tobin smiled.
"Can I keep it?"
"You cannot!" Tobin released her arms then grabbed Alex's waist, keeping her against the wall.
"Why?" Alex whined.
"Why would you want that old thing? I can get you a new one" Tobin said.
"Because its comforting" Alex said in all honesty.
"It is?" Tobin raised a brow.
"Yes, it is" Alex said.
"Oh" Tobin said.
"When we were just dating, I would steal your sweatshirts and shirts because they always smelled like you, and I'd return them whenever your scent was gone, and I hoped you would wear it again" Alex said.
"I know that. And I would wear it until I couldn't smell you in it, then I let you take it again" Tobin grinned. "We had a whole process and we didn't even know it"
Alex grinned, and kissed Tobin, using the kiss as a distraction to get out of Tobin's grip.
It worked, and Alex waved to Tobin as she walked away.
Tobin just stood there, smiling like an idiot.
Her smiling stopped when her phone rang, and she picked it up.
"Dammit Tobin why didn't you pick up? I've been trying to reach you all morning!" Hope yelled.
"Sorry, didn't hear it" Tobin mumbled.
"Whatever. Anyway, its the training staff thats been letting them in this whole time" Hope said. "I figured it out when I saw the New Yorker talking to the trainers. He gave them money. I don't know what the whole world has against you and Alex, but they're not letting it go"
"Jill's in it too" Tobin spit out.
"Yeah? How?" Hope asked, a little too harshly, then recovered. "Sorry, what I mean is that I wouldn't be surprised"
"This morning the I woke up around four or five, and I took the stairs down because I wanted to wake up more. I wasn't completely to the first floor when I heard whispering. Jill and the guy were talking. The guy's name is Rolland, and Jill told him to 'do it tonight'. And she gave him a room key to something" Tobin spat out, breathing heavy.
